Pura Vida Brand Review: 60-Second Summary

In this instance, we may not even need sixty seconds to communicate the entirety of Pura Vida’s offerings. They discuss the nutrient profile of their CBD products extensively, but overall their site has an underdeveloped feel. It seems they are passionate about the healing properties of hemp, but fall short of the mark by failing to publish documentation that may provide solid evidence for their claims. Regardless, purchases are unavailable to those residing in the US and Canada, so any visits to Pura Vida remain a sight-seeing experience for most.

Now, nobody likes to be the bearer of bad news, but we’ve taken on this challenging job and are here to inform you that Pura Vida does absolutely nothing to substantiate any of their claims.

Perhaps it’s something lost in translation, as Pura Vida products – which also include cocoa- and shea butter-based balm, CBD-infused honey and tea, hemp seed oil, hemp protein, hemp flour, even hemp cookies – is only for sale in EU countries via puravidacbd.eu. With all the excitement built up from talking about terpenes and cannabinoids (and the idea of hemp cookies), it was our hope to find something to corroborate any one of the claims made by Pura Vida.

There is a published Certificate of Analysis, but the test only screens for levels of various cannabinoids, paying no heed to the contaminants testing we find so essential in this industry – and it is dated October 2016. While the company claims to personally visit the Croatian organic olive orchards from which the olive oil used in their products originates, unless one winds up in Europe with a desperate hankering for CBDs, we see no real reason to shop with Pura Vida.

All I can say about this cbd oil is that our 13+ year old German Shepherd has degenerative mylopathy, hip dysplasia and arthritis and has been very uncomfortable, shifting from side to side, appetite not up to par and a bit anxius from her discomfort. I had this oil from when our other dog had cancer (but she was a very picky eater and wouldn't take it.) So when Dakota showed symptoms I gave her drops on some of her treats and within 10 minutes, she was relaxed and stopped shifting her weight. I use it twice a day with her and if we forget, we definitely see the difference. No matter what the label says, this works for the pallative care of our dog.

Pura Vida have cleverly put very ambiguous and deceptive labelling on their products designed to mislead people. Their 10% CBD oil is not 10% CBD, it's 1.8%. The extract content is 10%, but no extract, not even isolate is 10%. They put 1.8% in small letters at the bottom of the label but why do this? Why not advertise it openly as 1.8% CBD oil? Very slippery and not nice to do to people who may be sick, and get tricked into thinking they are buying 10% CBD oil.
